Probably one of the most dominant margins between 1st and 2nd positions of the year

Happy for Massa and Kobayashi

They will probably keep their drives for 2013

Utterly dominant win by Seb.

If Massa's finished 2nd, it either means Ferrari have illegal upgrades or Seb has a lot to worry about Alonso. Congrats, Felipe. How long has it been since the last podium?

Happy for Kamui. Did well to finish ahead of Mr. Michibata.

Good damage limitation by Lewis. Dunno why he had to change his set up after Saturday.

Hulk & the Pastor had a quiet, no-nonsense points haul. Good on them.

Ricciardo did well to hold off Schumi the last few laps. A pity the latter couldn't get a point despite giving his best.

Dsheartening race from an Alonso's fan POV, but stilll a wonderfully exciting GP.

Exceotf ron the lead, of course. Vettel poised again for a 3rd WDC in the most awesome of awesomes of the last seasons. Yet still everytime he wins his own race seems boring ("comandeering", "flawless"...or, to put it simply...pole to win Posted Image).

Massa...either conspirationists were always right and Ferrari has a "press to make Felipe suck" button, or he is actually that bipolar in his mentality. In any case, glad to switch the button switched off or Felipinho's brain switched on. Stay like that!

Kamui...spent the last laps cheeringg for him not because I like him (I like Checo's driving better) but because I loooooved to see the crowd going crazy. Definitely, the best crowd in the whole calendar bar, perhaps, the brazilians.

Good battles all over. Pity Hammy and his awful setup.

Wanted: better driver than Grosjean. IQ above 50 preferred but not essential.

Alonso...my man...no regrets!!!! Posted Image

PS: As much as I hate Kimi right now, it was a race incident. Tough luck.

Bugger about Alonso... I still can't get over the fact that it was Kimi's "fault". And now Vettel can see himself first with a king's crown on his head and the world despairs XD Well, that Ferrari still has a win in it, I'm sure, and Massa won't be the one to get it! By the way, I still don't know how he managed to have such a great start, but nice surprise. We had a happy podium today :)

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

i don't think so. to force someone out that one must be next to you. here is alonso's onboard start where you can see that ,from the start ,there was no space at his left side to kimi put his car there until the moment where kimi tryed to squeze in and punctured alonso's tyre.

As a direct result of Alonso squeezing him onto the grass...What line is he suppose to follow but try to get back to the track?????

Anyway, order is restored. We now head into the last 5 races with Vettel having the best chance to gain a 3rd title. Unless of course, there is rain-affected races and Alonso can do some limitation damage. I would urge Alonso fans to become believers and  pray for rain...

Looks like Alonso has thrown another championship away . With such a lead in the WDC, he's certainly trying to throw it away.

I don't think Alonso's title hopes are over (yeah, I wrote the opposite when he retired). If Massa can finish 2nd after starting 10th, the car definitely has pace, more so in Alonso's hands. The fat lady's not sung yet.

I guess Fiat will have to look back at Kimi as their last WDC (FFS, even massa almost did it for them).
Thus far the Ferrari/Alonso era has yielded.......Nothing,nowt, zilch, zip nada. Alonso is now looking like the WORST value for money on the grid!
I just can't see any of the other top guns throw away such a lead at the back end of a season . No wonder they're trying to lure Seb!
No doubt in the coming days, we'll here LDM and SD bang on about passion, style and all the usual italian BS when you lose.
I bet LDM wish he'd never agreed to having a longer season now!

On 2nd thought I guess  the pressure must have gotten to Alfonso, why would he drive so erratic sqeezing ppl off the track, this was not evident during te first half of the year

It simply a case of be careful what you wish for! Both Ferrari and Alonso wished for each other and now they'll have to live with it. (at least until they sign Vettel). Some teams love some drivers and vica verser , But not much as they ALL love to win!
Fiat kicked out their previous demi-god to make way fir Kimi (although, in fairness - that did yield the desired result). If they think Seb is a better pair of hands (and who doesn't!?) then I can see Alonso also being paid off at the end of '13.

from someone over at JA's comments pag...



And as Charlie Whiting clarified:
“For the avoidance of doubt, if any part of the front wing of the car attempting to pass is alongside the rear wheel of the car in front this will be deemed to be a ’significant portion’.”

The threads that follow the race where Alonso ballsed up yet another year are always priceless/worthless.
He's had his fair share of luck (bad and good) this year (as most of the top guys have). Yet when all the chips fall..........Vettel will be crowned again.
How many WDC does Vettel need to win before the people realize the kid is pretty good (and great value!)
